You don't watch BBCan!?!?!? Only good foreign version in comparison to the US one imo, but this looks promising.

I tried watching this and I couldn't make it through it.
If you're going to watch a foreign reality show, I say BB Australia >>> which if you happen to ever watch start with Season 7.

It's VERY hard for me to get into foreign BB. I've tried a few times now and I just can't dedicate time to watching that many episodes. It was hard for me to even finish US BB seasons, and I actually haven't finished a few of them but watched most of the season. BB is a show I can really only watch live tbh

I think their third season is there only season to really flop.

I'm actually intrigued by this. This franchise killed itself by doing a celebrity version after the first season which was mediocre. i feel like if they kept up with normal seasons it could have been okay.
So a reboot like 15 years later might actually be kinda interesting.

pretty solid premiere episode imo. you can watch it here if you haven't seen it yet: watchs.me/australian-survivor/australian-survivor-season-3-episode-1.htmlnot sure how to use spoilers on this site, so SPOILERS BELOW my biggest complaint about the episode is that i feel like they telegraphed Des' boot way too obviously at tribal. kinda sad to see Des go, wanted to see him play more. but the more i think about it, the more i feel like he actually would've gotten old pretty quick, so never mind. i've never understood people with the jean robert strategy of "I'm going to do sh*t all around camp, and that will totally not have any negative repercussions for me". i feel like even russell could've benefited from helping out around camp, maybe the jury wouldn't have hated him so much, lol. tbh i think this "strategy" is just an excuse to be lazy tho.

These episodes are too drawn out. Idk how Australian tv works but why is it nearly an entire hour? Tbh that's way too much time and you can tell by them showing way too much camp life. Also think the host is pretty bad at tribal council, but he's just getting started and Jeff was trash his first season too.

Omg how did i miss this thread!
Btw Aussie BB went downhill fast. The best part of it Was Friday night Live. That was awesome.
having Survivor on 3 days in a row (S/M/T) is going to be great but The host is definately not as engaging as Jeff.
"Survivors get over here" is just not the same as "Survivors come on in" (pretty sure thats what Jeff says if I am not mistaken)
Also no sign of idols or idol clues...

Idk how long I'm going to be able to stick with this if every Sunday is a double-length episode and Monday and Tuesday are each 55 minutes... it just feels like too much of a commitment.

I've actually really been enjoying this so far. It's nice to have a season to watching during the off season of US Survivor, and this one is actually decent (not up to par with US Survivor but it's definitely up there). The characters are mostly entertaining (I'm having a hard time remembering a lot of their names though), and personally I kind of like the longer episodes... it doesn't feel rushed, but at some points I agree it seems they are dragging things out too much.
The strategy is decent I think, but once again not up to par with US Survivor. It seems like a lot of scrambling constantly and a lot of "Oh we're voting this person out. Oh wait no, this person said something bad about me, I want him out instead. Just kidding let's go back to the original person". I was very surprised with the boot in the third episode (not going to name names just in case some of you haven't seen it yet). Definitely had the person voted off as one of my winner picks. Also that whole idol situation could have ended up being so epic if only the person had kept their mouth shut about finding the clue...
Not sure how I feel about the twist in episode 5... felt like a waste of a 1.25 hour episode. Still think they needed to have some sort of elimination at the end of it... but oh well, what do I know about Australian TV?
But yeah I think it's off to a great start. I like that they're showing 3 episodes a week. Keeps me occupied on my days off haha. At this point I have no clue who's going to win.
